almost too much
but not enough to make me care
everywhere at once
but never ever there
I wish you'd give a sign
something you could say
but it's almost too much
and not enough to make me stay

The best advice that I have to give —
Never trust a woman who knows how to kiss.
She'll steal your heart and leave you to grieve,
A worn out husk that nobody sees.

So when next you let lips decide your fate,
Nerves all a-quiver as you anticipate,
To not heed my warning, you would be remiss:
Never trust a woman who knows how to kiss.
Wanna try a kiss?
Yes I think we should
Take our relationship
Where a relationship would.

Wanna get a room?
Wow that was fast
But I'm all in
If you think it will last.

Breakfast at noon?
I suppose that's just fine
As long as we go
Where I usually dine.

Living together?
I'm a bit unsure
Your stuff's already here
It was kind of a blur.

what's this, my good man?
I dare say you are quite wrong:
you are not Grim Death

a man all a-rush...
he's not a man who can wait;
perhaps he should try

Wouldn't it be great
To stop the world
And watch all of the people fall off?*

That's what the plaque said.
Caution! She's not for you!
You're supposed to forget, right?
That's how it goes.

But then...

What if she hasn't forgotten?
She probably has.
Or at least she doesn't want to remember.

You'd tell yourself
Everyone has their time.
She definitely had yours.

Oh ah...

Brush your shoulders.
Shrug it off.
You're supposed to forget, right?
